Separation Anxiety
Separation anxiety is one of the main reasons the Strength Essence
is blocked or repressed. There is a cul-de-sac that frequently
occurs in relation to separation. One resists separation, due
to anxiety or other causes, and thus blocks the Strength Essence.
One then feels weak, and unable to separate. This weakness is
then taken as the reason behind not being able to separate, while
in fact it is the result of resisting separation. It is really
the state of the absence of the Strength Essence, and hence it
is the state of the lack of separation. This difficulty can be
surmounted by confronting the weakness itself. This will then
expose the anxiety that led to the weakness. Understanding the
source of the anxiety then precipitates the experience of the
Strength Essence. (The Pearl Beyond Price, pg 214)
